Second Jet2 flight in a week to encounter landing problems

A flight was forced to circle around Manchester Airport for 90 minutes because of a technical fault on Wednesday.

Jet2 flight LS819 left Manchester for Rhodes at 10.26am and was due to land at the Greek island for 4.35pm.

But the aircraft reportedly experienced an issue with the landing gear and was placed in a holding pattern at 8,000ft.

The Boeing 757-200 continued to circle the airport for an hour and a half burning fuel until it was light enough to land.

It eventually made it to the runway just before 12.25pm after landing safely.
